Rack and Stack in Budapest
Pro-M Victor Hugo stands on Victor Hugo u in Budapest. For a buyer placing new hardware in the city, the practical question is how the equipment gets from the delivery dock into a working rack, and who is accountable for each step in between. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator: it sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network and data-centre hardware, together with the services that deliver, install and support them, inside data centres that other companies own and run. It is not a hosting company and it does not own datacenters. Rack and stack is the installation stage of that chain. It means installing, mounting and cabling new hardware. The request starts with a conversation about what is arriving, where it is going and when. From that, Reboot Monkey scopes the job and issues a quote. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job, so two projects of different size are never forced into one fixed offer.

Our Rack and Stack Services
Rack and stack work covers cabling, labelling and power-on checks. Each of these has a defined purpose, and together they turn a pallet of boxed hardware into equipment that is ready for the customer's own configuration team.
Installing and mounting places servers, switches and other devices in the rack positions the customer has chosen. Cabling connects them to each other and to the network. Labelling gives every cable and device an identifier, so that later remote hands, smart hands or migration work can be done without tracing runs by hand. The power-on check confirms that the equipment starts and that the physical installation is sound before the job is handed back.
Connectivity belongs to the same job. Reboot Monkey sells the network for the rack: it orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility, and Reboot Monkey engineers install and patch the cabling in the customer's rack. A buyer therefore deals with one party for the hardware installation and the circuits that serve it, rather than coordinating separate suppliers.
A fibre inspection scope and cleaning kit are available on request, which matters when a new optical link is patched and needs to be checked before it carries traffic.
Rack and stack sits alongside other services that a customer may need once the hardware is live:
- Remote hands: physical tasks carried out on the customer's instruction, such as reboots, cable checks, component swaps and visual checks.
- Smart hands: technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge.
- Server migration: moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities.
- Hardware monitoring: monitoring of the customer's servers and network equipment by the Reboot Monkey NOC.
Why Reboot Monkey
The deciding factors for a CTO, IT director or procurement manager are continuity, scope clarity and coverage. Reboot Monkey addresses each with facts that can be checked against a statement of work.
Continuity: a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site. If the primary engineer is unavailable, the work does not depend on someone arriving without context.
Scope clarity: the rack and stack scope is stated in plain terms (cabling, labelling and power-on checks), and the quote is issued on request against the actual job. The positioning is equally plain. Reboot Monkey works inside facilities that other companies own and run, and it is vendor-neutral, so the equipment installed is the equipment the customer selected.
Coverage: as of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. For a company with racks in Budapest and elsewhere, the same service definitions apply across sites, so an installation in one place is described and delivered the same way as in another.
The working relationship with the facility is straightforward. The operator sets the site rules for access, power and cooling, and Reboot Monkey engineers follow them. Customers keep control of what goes into the rack, while the installation, cabling, labelling and checks are handled by engineers who do this work as their core task.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Budapest where Reboot Monkey engineers work.
- Response: 1-hour, around-the-clock incident response SLA, and a 15 minute premium response available where technicians are stationed on-site, as a paid add-on. The incident response SLA covers incidents and unplanned requests; on-site, dispatch and resolution times, priority tiers, and planned or scheduled work are agreed per site in the service agreement.
- Monitoring: 24/7 NOC monitoring across all facilities, covering IPMI, iDRAC, SNMP, temperature, power, network signals.
- Hardware: vendor-neutral technicians for Dell, HP, Cisco, Juniper and Arista equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does rack and stack cover in Budapest?
Rack and stack in Budapest covers installing, mounting and cabling new hardware in the customer's rack. The work includes cabling, labelling and power-on checks. Reboot Monkey engineers also install and patch cabling for cross connects and carrier circuits ordered through the facility operator and the carriers present. Quotes are provided on request, based on the size of the job.
Do you work in every datacenter in Budapest?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Budapest where the customer has equipment and access, under the operator's own access and safety rules. The customer adds the engineers to the facility's access list before the first visit.
How fast can Reboot Monkey respond in Budapest?
Incidents and unplanned requests are handled under a 1-hour, around-the-clock incident response SLA.

On-site, dispatch and resolution times, priority tiers, and planned or scheduled work are agreed per site in the service agreement.
How is Reboot Monkey different from the facility operator's own staff?
